Hi lolad62565928,

Sadly, as its document protection security password so there is nothing that we can do about this.

Adobe doesn't keep backup the customer's created passwords.

For more information you may refer to -Securing PDFS with passwords, Adobe Acrobat

How can I retrieve the password to open any new PDF files I'm trying to open from a CD?

Ask the person who sent you the CD
